A stunning journalling debut Lisa - this looks fantastic. I've yet to get off the start blocks for this genre. I bet yours will beat the socks off all others for fun and entertainment! Good luck with your challenges. Nicola x

WOOOOOOW!!!! Lisa this is simply breathtaking!!! I so love all the elements you used to decorate your first journal page! You sure know how to make my jaw drop my friend!!! I love that ruler strip! Is that metal?? Please do tell!Have a wonderful day my dear and keep crafting cause I need another dose of Lisa magic!!!

This is a fabulous journal page and a great one to start off your book. I love the texture and layers you have managed to create within the sketch, just wonderful. It also made me chuckle too and I look forward to seeing more humorous entries in the future.Lorraine

Fabulous journal page Lisa... I love your quirky ideas and this is off the page 'FABULOUS'.. I especially like the sentiment, it says it all!... Thank you for your visit it's always lovely to read your encouraging comments and kind words:)Looking forward to seeing more pages...Love and Hugs,Marjorie x

Gorgeous! You've done a wonderful job creating dimension and texture with your elements. Beautiful page! Thank you for sharing your work with us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. ~Michelle

YAY!!! What a great start to journalling!!! I absolutely LOVE every single part of this, from that great saying through to the mix of cleverly balanced layering. You are officially a star journaller and I'm thrilled to bits you've joined us at Frilly and Funkie too. Pinned! Jenny x

ROCK STAR! I agree with the quote too!!! I'd be lost so totally lost without my coffee! Might I offer a challenge for the next page? Something on bras....boobs are funny most days, but I can only imagine what naughty stuff you might come up with...

I can't wait to see your journal unfold and for all the giggles that are ahead for me to enjoy. This page is awesome and being a coffee lover too, I think it's perfect. Excited to see this adventure unfold! xx

I can't think of anyone that could possibly be any better than you at creating an art journal of any kind. I too am looking forward to seeing more of your journal pages. You know I am going to steal as much as possible!!Sandy xx

Humph! You don't need to look for any humorous quote GF. You just right down the stuff that comes out of your own mouth. You have me rolling all the time. I'm sure your journal will be spectacular with all your cool mixed media skills. :-) Great start already.

Oh yay - what a brilliant first step into journalling - I adore your style, and the sentiment too - from a fellow coffee-worshipper. Love the layers and dimensionality and cool krafty look. Cannot wait to see more...Alison xx

Hooray! Welcome to the journaling world! Your first page is awesomely fun and I'm loving the coffee theme! I love the idea of a 'make me smile' journal, too! Mine tends to be a combination of quotes and trial art techniques-still lots of fun!
